Shambhala Training: Level V Open Sky

About us

Prerequisites

Shambhala Training Level 4: Awakened Heart

Schedule

Friday, 7 - 9PM; Saturday & Sunday, 9AM - 6PM

Class Description

Communicating with the world gently and fearlessly, our awareness is sharpened and we find the open clear sky of mind—a delightful source of wisdom and uplifted energy. We learn to trust our nature enough to let go into the present moment.

The weekend includes meditation practice, discussion, and individual meetings with meditation instructors.

This is the last class in a series of 5 weekend programs.
